Counting Down

Counting Down published on No Comments on Counting Down

Lenore Biotech Institute, you say? This is actually referenced in the Chio article I put up a while back. Even though this was mentioned on the last page and everyone probably missed it or didn’t know what it meant. This will get more developed, though, so don’t worry. :B Coming up on the end of the chapter, as well. Two more pages left in Chapter Seven!

In other notes, I’ve started posting preview images for upcoming pages on the forum again. I sort of fell off the wagon with that for a while, but now that I have a small buffer running they’ll be available again. You have to register as a forum member before you can see them, but it’s worth it, right? 😀

That’s about all for anything interesting this update. Have an awesome week!

Busy weekend

Hey comic readers! This is not my favorite page ever, but it’s a necessary in-between. Next week’s is better! Speaking of which, there are only three pages left in Chapter Seven! I feel like I just started drawing it. Time flies!

A few other new things this week:

New fanart from Chu of Slightly Damned!

I helped her put together a few things for her comic’s new website-in-the-works, so she drew me some art. It’s double awesome because no one ever draws my human characters, so Luke is finally getting some love. Thanks, Chu! 😀

I’ve cleaned up my Links page because the disorganization finally got to me. This includes a couple of new link exchanges, some new Messenger banners for linking out, and general cleanup.

There’s also a new vote incentive minicomic that’s going to run for the next six weeks! I had some things I wanted to experiment with and decided to do a short comic based on a “deleted scene” from Chapter One. It’s short and uncomplicated, and I wanted to get back into the swing of drawing Aki and some others to mentally prepare for Chapter Eight. Voting will take you to the page, and all the archive pages will be posted for registered members on the forum the following week.
gears: vote incentive minicomic

Other than that, I finally got in a handful of new supplies I ordered for general comic work and work on the new Chapter Two pages for Book 2! Exciting. Especially considering the brief moment of panic I had when I couldn’t remember which address I used for shipping. Whoops. At any rate, I’m glad to be coloring Eldora without feeling like I’m grinding my markers to dust, again, so hooray! Stuff like this is where reader donations go! Even a little bit helps me keep my supplies stocked, since the entire comic is drawn using real media – and when you donate, you get an exclusive wallpaper! Also, every time $25 is collected in donations or shop purchases, a new regular comic page is posted! Everyone wins!

That’s pretty much all I’ve got for this update. Thanks for reading! See you next Monday!

Extra pages! And other stuff.

Extra pages! And other stuff. published on No Comments on Extra pages! And other stuff.

I have really got to get better at coming up with blog titles.

We are mere pages away from the end of this chapter, and I’m realizing that my supplies have been kind of beat to hell. I’ve been using the exact same set of markers since I started the comic in 2004 with only a couple of replacements here and there, and they’re finally reaching the point of no return. I’m trying to put together Book 2 and it’s hit me that some of my materials just aren’t going to make it through another round of abuse. (Still, I’m kind of impressed at how long I’ve been able to stretch some of this stuff. :O ) I need to find a way to replace at least some of the most worn out colors if I can, so I’ve decided to reinstate the extra page drive indefinitely; every time $25 is raised in donations or shop purchases, I’ll add another page on top of the regular weekly update, with up to 2 extra pages per week. There’s now a donation bar coded right into the sidebar that updates automatically on donations, and I’ll add stuff from the shop to the count manually. If you donate or buy from the shop, you’ll also be redirected to a shiny new wallpaper download featuring Eldora and Icy as a bonus.

Still working like a fiend on Book 2. Got half of Chapter Two pencilled and inked. Coming up with new covers. Making progress. This is going to be a fantastic portfolio piece when it’s done. :B

Other minor news bits:

New article: About the Messengers – A brief FAQ kind of thing about the Messengers. I plan on updating it more as the story goes along, but for now it is what it is.

Shop updates: I’ve updated the Shop to be more organized and to include some new stuff, like Brave Chio shirts and Icy charms! I’ve also recoded some things so that international shipping is now a built-in part of the store rather than a by-request thing. Trying to make things simpler. :v

That’s all I’ve got for now. Have an awesome week, guys! 🙂
